What is the culture diversity? Before the class, I thought the culture diversity was the synonym of ethnicity and race. People have different color, tradition, language, custom and religion. However, after this class, I know the culture diversity is the difference not only in ethnicity and race but also in basic beliefs, values, lifestyle and even sexual practice in groups of people who can be different ethnic or the same ethnic. I am an immigrant, and my family also faces the problems of unemployment and stress in a new environment. I understand new immigrants well, but I did not understand some Canadian born homeless people who live on street by choice. I had a negative attitude to prostitutes, homelessness and substance addicts. I thought these HIV positive drug users and sexual traders got what they deserved for their own actions. Therefore, I did not have sympathy for them. Having this class, I know I may hold stereotypes and discrimination to these people.

The Mom voiced her concern of the possibility of the baby...
